I used the SUV all morning before I got the keys made and it ran fine. Once I used the new key, the car would not start anymore. I have no electricity to the car at all. Does any one have any suggestions?

My car is a 2002 Isuzu Axiom. After buying new keys and using the new keys, my SUV died. It now has no electricity to it at all.

Sounds like Ford PATS keys. They have a computer security chip inside to keep the vehicle from being stolen.
You can oder generic replacements off of Ebay and have the blank cut at Home Depot.

You did not say whether you re-tried the original key.
If the original key works, then, as the folks, above, have said, it's probably due to the fact that your vehicle has an anti-theft device built into the key. You can buy the "special" key from your local dealer, then ask them how to "program" it yourself. Since you'll be doing the "work", they may sell it to you for about $50 (don't be surprised if they have to special order it, though!). You may even find the instructions on the web.
If the original key does NOT work, then something else is wrong, which has nothing to do with the keys.
Good luck!

It may not be the key for it. I suggest you get a key made at the dealer ship.
If the key does not seem to be working. If the key seems to turn the ignition and your car is dead, maybe the battery went out? Did you try using the other key you had? Usually when no electrical systems seem to be on in the car, dead battery.

You have to go to the dealership to get new keys made. The keys that you get from Ace and other places's for the newer cars don't have the chip in the key that you need. You can oldy use them for Valet Keys (or a spare for when you lock your keys in the car). In the mean time you will need to use your other key that you had this morning.

Most newer cars have a chip in the original keys. It is an anitheft device so that someone can't punch your ignition with a screwdriver and steal your car. You need to go get copies of your keys at the dealership. They arent cheap...I paid 120 bucks for 1!

It depends on the year of your car. If it's a newer car then you have to order the keys from the dealership because of the "chip" that is in the key. Otherwise the issue may not be related to the key.

Your starter switch died.? Do you have this new key on a key chain with a bunch of other things , the weight could be causeing the problem.

the new key did this the chip lets the car start . a regular key will mess the computer up and not let the car run.

I think that may have been just a freak coincidence. Have your ride checked out by a reliable mechanic. Hope it's nothing major. If you don't have any cranking power, it may be that the vehicle may have been running strictly off of the battery until it was depleted. When this happens usually your alternator is not charging and needs to be replaced. Check it out.
